Watching movies on Bengbu, you guys are a bit too normal.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the other train crew members, golden light began to flash within the train.

Dan Heng subconsciously reached out to take it, and a huge key with ancient patterns carved all over its body emerged in the golden light and landed steadily in Dan Heng's hand.

Himeko held a freshly brewed cup of coffee in her hand and said with a smile.

"Is this the key to unlocking the revival round?"

Walter, standing to the side, stared at the key in Danheng's hand, trying to understand its structure.

However, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like an ordinary key, only much larger, and it didn't even have a trace of energy fluctuation.

“Mr. Walter, I…” Dan Heng didn’t know what to say for a moment.

"Congratulations." Walter smiled and patted Danheng on the shoulder.

"However, you should know that this reward is not a reward for us, but a heavy responsibility. We cannot let it fall into the hands of those with ill intentions."

"Ok, I know."

Danheng nodded solemnly and put the key away for the time being.

Then, he turned to look at the direction the light screen was pointing at him and calmly said:

"Please rest assured, the Star Train will not use this key indiscriminately, causing chaos in the galaxy."

Given the Star Train's reputation in the galaxy and their own character, there is absolutely no need to worry about this reward being misused or causing unnecessary war.

With the return carriage from last time and the key this time, the Star Train has gained another trump card that can intimidate the universe.

[Walter Young, the subject of the biography, did not win the prize.]

The system has begun implementing compensation.

[Compensation has been sent. Please acknowledge receipt, Walter Young.]

As the notification sound rang out, before Walter could react, a tremendous force surged into his body.

Like a wanderer returning home, this power resonated within him.

"This is……"

Feeling the familiar power awakening within his body, Walter's eyes widened in surprise.

It is the core power of the Law of Reason!

Even though he has been in the galaxy for many years, he has always been able to skillfully use the power of the Herrscher of Reason, and even perfectly construct the Star of Eden.

But the Herrscher core at this moment is completely different; it is the power he once felt for a certain moment.

He felt his consciousness was clearer than ever before, and his perception of the world had been elevated to a new dimension.

Everything around him—the structure of the train, the faint imaginary fluctuations emanating from his companions—was presented in his perception in an extremely "essential" form.

Data, structure, composition... the "principles" of everything were clearer to him than ever before.

"...feathering?"

P.S.: I had a total lack of inspiration today. I also need to pack my things; I'm going back to school tomorrow, so there will only be one update today.

There will be four updates tomorrow, making up for today's update and the one from the day before yesterday.

Then, I realized my character profile was indeed a bit too long. If there are any long storylines in the future, I will try to shorten them as much as possible. I'm so sorry, I'm begging my readers!

Chapter 73 Otto Apocalypse

【Rewards Distribution Ended】

[The second episode has started playing]

[Coming Soon: Honkai Chronicles - Otto Apocalypse]

Walter rubbed his temples, recalling his experience a few days ago on the Immortal Ship Luofu.

The photograph of the mysterious merchant who looked almost exactly like Otto stirred up many unpleasant memories for him.

Although I eventually learned that the merchant hadn't actually done anything wrong, I still felt uneasy.

Unexpectedly, the person who often taught March and Xing not to judge people by their appearance became their negative example.

Walter smiled helplessly.

Ruan Mei took a small bite of the new-style pastry in front of her, her face expressionless as she thought about the dragon-shaped Honkai Beast she had seen in Welt's character profile.

It is a very novel organism. Based on its energy operation, it is clearly an energy life form similar to Wuwubo, but it has physical characteristics that are not known to energy life forms.

And that man named Siegfried, whose final special form had very obvious Honkai Beast characteristics.

Ruan Mei silently pondered, listing several similar life forms in the Milky Way.

Inside St. Freya Academy, a cold, golden glint suddenly flashed in Kiana's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Otto swirled the wine in his glass, his words utterly sincere.

The Endgame of Otto Apocalypse

【Start playing】

Life, in essence, is nothing more than a walking shadow.

A clumsy actor gesticulating wildly on stage.

He appeared briefly, then quietly withdrew without a sound.

Otto Apocalypse, the most pathetic fool in the world.

He was a beloved bishop of destiny, but also a clown whose crimes were beyond description.

Over the centuries, he caused the deaths of countless people for his own selfish desires.

Yet, it also overthrew a corrupt dynasty amidst the people's clamor.

He treated each and every living person as a pawn, wantonly trampling on the value of emotions and lives.

Yet, they also cherished the Valkyries who went to the battlefield and prayed for their safe return.

"Promises and betrayals," "Enemies or friends," "Truth and lies"

No one has ever been able to see through his thoughts.

His actions had only one objective from beginning to end.

And the origin of all this.

It all started on that afternoon five hundred years ago—

Although Otto came from one of the three great families, his frail body was plagued by illness all day long, and he could only do some whimsical handmade inventions.

Naturally, they also had no chance of inheriting the family business.

His brothers were disgusted by his efforts to "self-destruct," but no one noticed his inner needs and desires.

Just then, a white-haired, blue-eyed girl, like warm sunlight, shone into Otto Apocalypse's cold and gloomy heart.

She wholeheartedly praised Otto's work and expressed her expectation that he would become a great inventor.

They also extended an invitation to each other to save the world.

Young Otto tasted the feeling of being recognized for the first time; he realized that he could be expected of and needed.

From that distant afternoon onward, everything he did gained meaning because of the girl's affirmation.

But fate's jokes always seem to arrive at just the right time.

The rampant plague and the failed Eastern Expedition shattered the former prosperity, and power and force are the best nourishment for greed, turning the riddled faith into a breeding ground for decay.

In a turbulent world, the fates of the two also quietly reached a turning point.

Fearing abandonment, Otto chose to disregard ethics and conduct live experiments on dying patients, sparing no expense to achieve results.

Unable to tolerate the crimes, Karen decides to transform into a night raven, spreading hope under the cover of moonlight to uphold the justice she believes in.

Chapter 74 Void Treasury: Don't come any closer!

[But the lies will eventually be exposed. After one operation after another, Kallen finally discovers the secret of human experimentation, and Otto also exposes his identity at a critical moment.]

Faced with the endless desires of destiny, an individual's will is but a drop in the ocean.

But the distance between their thoughts was even greater than that.

For Karen, the dignity of life was something she was determined to defend to the death.

For Otto, morality and ethics are both prices he is willing to pay.

With a crisp slap, a fierce battle of conscious awakening ensued.

The two of them went completely down different paths.

At this moment, Otto also realized that he was powerless to stop Karen's determination.

All I could do was silently accept it all and silently help her leave.

After the turmoil subsided, Otto received the key to enter the library.

Although the Void Archives had been trying to take over Otto's body by offering access to the index, Otto never succumbed to his temptations and instead relied on his scattered knowledge to develop technology.

Thus began a century-long struggle.

"Fortunately, I've left some countermeasures. I'll tell him/her when the successor arrives."

Who would have thought that kid would be so stubborn? He originally just planned to find a puppet to learn those skills and then use them to fight the Honkai, but what happened...?

Void Treasury pondered its current state and remained silent for a moment.

Black Tower immediately grasped the key words.

He was certain that the guy did it on purpose!

Lai Gushi's curiosity was piqued once again.

However, this time, it seems he has a chance to get in touch with them personally.

"Void Treasury, passengers of the Star Train? I look forward to your arrival."

However, he was not in a hurry. Soon, he stopped thinking about it and continued to observe the changes in Onfaros's data as always.

In the days that followed, Otto continued his research and experiments while searching for Karen's whereabouts.

Upon hearing that Karen had encountered danger in Yae Village, Otto immediately sent someone to Judah, but was unable to deliver the reply filled with longing for her.

On the other hand, with Judah's help, Kallen successfully sealed the Herrscher of Corruption in the black box, but was seriously injured as a result and was taken back to Europe by Schicksal for trial.

Karen, upholding her beliefs, refused to become a victim of family infighting and was sentenced to be hanged.

Despite Otto's countless attempts, they were all futile struggles in the face of the Church's will.

On the day of his execution, having nowhere else to turn, he released the Honkai Beasts at the execution ground.

He attempted to take Karen away amidst the chaos, but he underestimated Karen's determination.

Ultimately, Karen Kaslana lost her life while protecting the people.

For some reason, she could always vaguely sense a similar sadness, but it wasn't directed at her, she knew that.

Is it a connection between myself and death?

The loss of his beloved turned Otto's world gray once again.

Unwilling to accept defeat, he relentlessly pursued Karen's shadow, striving to transform this imperfect world into the one she desired.

He used his wisdom to sound the clarion call of revolution and used his hands to cleanse the remnants of corruption.

The people sing praises of his great achievements, and the soldiers admire his wisdom and resourcefulness.

As the cheers of victory echoed through the silent church hall, Otto couldn't help but ask himself, "Is this... enough?"

For hundreds of years afterward, the emptiness in Otto's heart remained unfilled.

The only answer that can mend this is—

To resurrect her beloved, to resurrect the people's saint, to resurrect Kallen Kaslana.

Over the course of five hundred years, he tried every method he could think of, but all of them failed, or resulted in nothing more than meaningless copies.

Fortunately, he found the only right path, and although the conditions for achieving it were extremely demanding, he truly found real hope.
